"It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-374 advisory.

  - containerd is an open source container runtime. A bug was found in containerd prior to versions 1.6.18 and
    1.5.18 where supplementary groups are not set up properly inside a container. If an attacker has direct
    access to a container and manipulates their supplementary group access, they may be able to use
    supplementary group access to bypass primary group restrictions in some cases, potentially gaining access
    to sensitive information or gaining the ability to execute code in that container. Downstream applications
    that use the containerd client library may be affected as well. This bug has been fixed in containerd
    v1.6.18 and v.1.5.18. Users should update to these versions and recreate containers to resolve this issue.
    Users who rely on a downstream application that uses containerd's client library should check that
    application for a separate advisory and instructions. As a workaround, ensure that the `USER $USERNAME`
    Dockerfile instruction is not used. Instead, set the container entrypoint to a value similar to
    `ENTRYPOINT [su, -, user]` to allow `su` to properly set up supplementary groups. (CVE-2023-25173)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
